The NPP Identifiable Groups of traders at the Kumasi Central market have debunked claims that members have decided to boycott the December 7, 2024 elections because the government has abandoned the Phase Two of the Kejetia Redevelopment project.
According to them, contrary to the reports, the projects have not been abandoned.

Last week, a section of the traders called on former President John Mahama to help complete the second phase of the Kejetia Project and Satellite markets in Kumasi, claiming the government had abandoned major projects in the Ashanti region.
They also called for a boycott of the national elections.
But the leadership of the group has debunked the claims and position of the aggrieved group, saying members of the association have the civic right to vote.
Elder Emmanuel Gyeke, chairman of the NPP identifiable traders, explained at a news conference in Kumasi that no such decision or position has been taken by the association and that, no member should allow himself or herself to be influenced in the name of politics.
He emphasised that the group still identifies with policies and programmes by the government and that with time all projects would be duly executed.
The chairman of the group attributed the delay in executing the Kejetia project to the COVID-19 pandemic and that the decision was not intentional.
Nanabea Addo, Secretary for the group, on his part, explained that the government had not abandoned the project and that negotiations were still ongoing with the Contractor, following the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Abena Kwabena, the Organaiser, also noted that the Nana Akufo-Addo-led government has provided reliefs in many interventions for Ghanaians and cautioned detractors to stop throwing dust into the eyes of members of the general public.
